| Obverse description | Detailed panoramic cityscape of Stuttgart occupying the central field, depicting a dense arrangement of civic and ecclesiastical buildings with prominent church towers surmounted by finials, set against a hillside backdrop with surrounding fortifications and a bridge in the foreground. The view is rendered in fine engraved relief, conveying an aerial perspective characteristic of early 18th-century German town-view coinage. The legend STVTTGAR / DIA appears in two lines within the lower lobe of the square field, separated from the city view by a dotted inner border. The entire design is framed by a beaded and cable-pattern border running along all four edges of the klippe flan. A small decorative flower or rosette motif appears beneath the legend in the lower apex. |

| Reverse description | A mare with her foal depicted in the central field, referencing Stuttgart's traditional emblem of the horse, rendered in fine relief against an open ground. The scene is accompanied by the multi-word German motto distributed across the field, referencing the civic virtue of properly raised youth. The reverse design is framed by a beaded border consistent with the obverse, befitting the square klippe format. The motto is divided across two lines with a double slash separator, characteristic of the typographic conventions used on Stuttgart municipal coinage of the period. |
